I want the rest of my refund back. Otherwise I will be going Amazon and Temu in the future.

Problem with seller

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

  • - Bought lighter for $40; jet piece fell out but could be reinserted.
  • - Replacement promised by July 24; if not arrived, refund the original payment.
Ebay Australia - Problem with seller
Ebay Australia - Problem with seller - Image 2

I brought a lighter for $40, and in the first 2 months, the small piece where the jet flame comes out fell out a few times. I was able to put it back in, and it kept working, but now the clicker won't ignite the lighter.

The seller said they were going to send a replacement, and it should arrive on 24 July. If it doesn't arrive by the 25th, they will refund me my original payment, and once the replacement gets to me, I would keep that as well as go to the 26th. I messaged them, and they have yet to reply.

I don't know if they even sent a replacement or not. I have not been able to get in contact with eBay, and because it's been past the date, I can't do anything about the lighter anymore, but I still would like to be reimbursed my money and to know if they even sent a replacement or not.

Loss:
$28
Pros:
  • Easy to buy
Cons:
  • Hard to get any help

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: give it 2 to 3 months before giving any feedback

Ebay Australia - Toocardo the Seller has not completed my purchase and dose not... - Image 2

When I started looking to purchase this item, I had a lot of questions about which product would suit my needs best, so I contacted the seller and communication was good. So I placed an order and paid in full.

The estimated arrival date was good. But then I received a message that I would receive my product in 2 parcels. That's when communication went downhill; I needed this to arrive by a certain date but could not get an answer. The order no *** I ordered a package of 3 cameras and 1 monitor; I have received 2 cameras, that's all.

He states the parcel will be split into 2 parcels, but the second parcel has not arrived.

I have tried communicating with ***, but he does not respond. I think this is a scam.

Loss:
$479
Pros:
  • I have used ebay for around 20 years it used to be good
Cons:
  • No phone contact in australia communication

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Do not Deal with this SELLER, He or She dose not respond. You can see what’s ordered and paid for and also claiming order Delivered, but only Received (2 Cameras) which is the photo of the 2 Brown Boxes.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Order shown delivered; refund requested.
  • - Delays and lack of callbacks; customer requests direct contact and quick resolution.

I am very annoyed in the way you have treated me about my situation I first received email saying that my order had been delivered. So I emailed Zoundhouse they message me back saying they would sort it out on Monday 17/8/26.

I then message you on 17/8/26 where you tell me that there is a 3 day rule and that they have to the 22/8/26 to reply I have no idea how they come up with these dates make 3 days its more like 8 days .i was annoyed and frustrated with EBay I call seller myself where the seller and I reached a settlement with them refund me my money back but before this settlement was reached they could not find my documents and eventually they found documents and they told me that my purchase had been sent to England and had been returned to seller where they told me that they were going to send it back to me I by this time had had enough and told them I wanted a refund which I believe they sent me back an email stating this but I am not sure as it is in German

When Messaging your Agent I ask for a Callback which I didnt receive and your agent abruptly ended call I will never USE EBAY AGAIN because I find you dont care about customers

AND I WANT A RESPONSE FROM YOU NOT AN EMAIL OR MESSAGE BUT A CALL FROM A REAL PERSON.

Is this to much to ask ,I have also sent email to PISSED CUSTOMER and they are wanting to know the outcome of this case. Garry Richards margaz14@***.com 046083**** my credit card number has changed and have new details so am hoping that my refund is handled correctly and quickly please advise of what is happening as soon as I receive my refund back I will cancel my account with EBay this has cost me time and some money for me to sort this out

Loss:
$25

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Be very careful dealing with EBay especially with overseas sellers

I have had the call Zoundhouse the seller I had to call them in Germany where I was told the parcel had been sent to England then it has been delivered back to them and they were going to send it to me I told them that I had enough and I want a refund which they agreed to they sent me a email I believe is the refund, but I don’t know what it says because it’s in GermanAs for EBay have been no help I messaged them yesterday and asked for them to call me back they didn’t call me. As far as I am concerned they are not helpful and this is the last time I will be using them they say there is a 3 day rule which really is 7 or 8 days I find they are a terrible customer service , I believe they are a overseas company and could careless about Australia people all they want to do is make money
